$40.00 | | Purchased At: | Junk shop | | Strengths: | It's really light, which is great for heaving it in and out of the cellar. I like the handle grip gear shifters, fairly resposnisve. I'm surprisingly impressed with the slicks. | | Weaknesses: | I'm really short and had to remove the seat suspension shaft with a different non suspension for a better fit. I kind of have to play with the dereileur with the pedal sprocket, since it doesn't always want to shift to the lowest gear there. Otherwise, I've been beating the snot out of this bicycle. | | Similar Products Used: | I've had a few other bicycles in my lifetime, but I do really like this one | | Bike Setup: | What setup? I gave the man the money and pedaled it away. | | Bottom Line: | It's a pretty good bike. With gasoline prices getting as they are, I occasionally ride this thing to work. good commuting bike. I'm kind of a "turtle peddler" at best and at my age, it's a friggin miracle I'm pedaling a bicycle at all.
I highly recommend it to all of my "turtle" brothers and sisters! | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: April 12, 2000 | | Favorite Trail: | Still exploring | | Duration Product Used: | 1 Year | | Strengths: | Good bang for the buck. Great introductory bike for someone who hasn't biked for a while. Tires are great for taking on or off the road. Relatively light frame for hybrid type bike, yet feels rugged enough for off road. Suspension seat a nice plus. | | Weaknesses: | Mega range although great for steep hills sacrifices speed on road surfaces. Could use some extra gears for hi end, (offer a 28 speed?) | | Bottom Line: | Great bike, especially for the price. I believe the frames are made by Canondale. Excellent choice of components. Great bike for taking on or off road for a quite ride, and sturdy enough to take off road, as long as you reduce tire pressure first. The suspension seat is comfortable especially on bumpy roads.
Don't expect to win road races with this, but this is an all around great bike for the weekend cruiser. It'll withstand off roading, but lacks suspension in the wheels. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
